Off-script: My Accidental Fake Boyfriend Chapter Forty
Riley's POVIs it just me, or has Cole completely re-coded his personality lately?Seriously, why on earth would the campus robot volunteer us for a bridal shoot?Before I could process it, his grip tightened around my waist, pulling me flush against his side. My breath hitched, my entire body locking up at the sudden heat of him."Perfect," June chimed, her eyes scanning us with professional satisfaction.She began handing out outfits, and only then did Cole finally let go, the sudden absence of his touch leaving a strangely cold draft against my skin. While the rest of our friends were handed gowns and suits for the bridal train, I stole a glance at Cole. He was leaning casually against the wall, head tilted, listening to June like he hadn’t just thrown a wrench into my nervous system.What is his actual deal today? First, he’s all relaxed and chummy with Emelia, not that I care, obviously, and now he suddenly wants to partner up on something as cringe-worthy as a wedding shoot?June

Riley’s POVIt had been five whole years since I last heard from him, yet his voice remained vividly trapped in my memory. As much as I wanted to convince myself the caller was a stranger, I was a hundred and one percent sure it was him.My phone lit up with a text after another string of ignored calls.‘Rileybear, please pick up. It’s Dad.’I couldn't deal with this, not right now. I needed a distraction, anything to snap me out of the spiral. Slipping into a pair of joggers, a sweatshirt, and a baseball cap, I grabbed my headset. A brisk jog was exactly what I needed to clear my head.A few minutes into my jog, June’s name flashed on my screen. I took a breath and answered.“Hi, baby girl,” I chimed, forcing my voice to clear.“Riles, thank God. I need your help, it’s an emergency.”“What’s wrong?”“I need runway models. Six of them, actually. Ideally a mix of guys and girls.”I frowned, checking the time. “How much cushion do we have?”“An hour, give or take.”How am I supposed to

Riley’s POVCole stared at me like he couldn’t believe what had just come out of his own mouth. A subtle grimace crossed his face, the kind people made when they regretted a decision a second too late.“Urmm… well…” he stuttered.Oh my gosh. Cole Donovan was stuttering.“Actually, you’re right. I remember now,” I said quickly, rescuing him before he completely malfunctioned.He stared at me for a beat, confusion flickering across his face before he gave a small nod.“Thank you for the offer,” I told Noah, “but I’ll go with Cole.”“Of course.” Noah stepped back with an easy smile.“Well, shall we?” I turned to Cole.He nodded and grabbed his things. The walk to his car was rather quiet, and awkward, the awkward kind that made me suddenly aware of every footstep, every rustle of leaves, every passing student.I still didn’t know what work he was talking about, and he hadn’t made an effort to explain what it was. The moment we reached his car, he stopped and faced me. His usual composur

Cole's POV“Yo, Cole. I was just about to call you.” Tyler’s voice came through the phone the moment he picked up. “I saw the post on Campus Blog. It seems to be gaining a lot of traction. Is she okay?”I glanced over my shoulder. Riley sat on the bleachers with Noah, the afternoon sun filtering through the trees behind them. The tension that had practically swallowed her whole earlier seemed to have eased a little.“Red is fine.” I said then regretted it immediately because Tyler had certainly not missed it.“Red,” Tyler repeated, amusement dripping from every syllable.I pinched the bridge of my nose.“We can't make it back to the meeting though. Any way you can convince Stacy to move the meeting forward?”“Why can't you make it?”My gaze drifted back to Riley. Noah was saying something to her. The sight rubbed me the wrong way. I looked away immediately.“Take a hint, Tyl.”“Whatever.” He hung up.I stared at my phone for a second longer before slipping it into my pocket. What the

Riley's POV I stood frozen as students who knew absolutely nothing about me dissected my life like it was entertainment. They didn't know what Matty had done. They didn't know how badly it had hurt. They didn't know the mess I'd been left to clean up afterward.Yet somehow, I was the villain. The worst part? A small, ugly part of me felt guilty anyway. I knew I shouldn't. But I did. A hand settled firmly on my shoulder. I startled and looked up. Cole. His grey eyes met mine. Calm, steady, softer than I'd ever seen them before. "Come on," he said quietly. "We should go."His hand slid from my shoulder to my wrist before settling around my hand. The gesture was simple. But somehow, it grounded me. I let him lead me through the crowd. Noah fell into step beside us without saying a word. The further we walked, the worse it got. Whispers followed us. Phones appeared. Some students didn't even bother pretending they weren't staring. My shoulders tightened. My b

Riley's POVThe dinner went better than I expected. Considering most of the chaos had been caused by me, that was saying something.At least it wasn't a complete disaster. Cole’s mom seemed happy. Mr. Donovan hadn't scared me into a nervous breakdown. And somehow, despite everything, I was fairly certain we survived the evening.Cole didn't talk much on the drive back, but that wasn't unusual. Honestly, I didn't have the energy for conversation either. Dinner had drained me.Unfortunately, exhaustion didn't stop my brain from replaying Emelia's phone call. I couldn't stop wondering what she'd meant.‘She has nothing to do with why I came back.’I had considered telling Cole what I'd overheard. Then decided against it. It wasn't my place. Still, a small voice in the back of my head kept asking the same question. Who was "she"? And why did I have the horrible feeling Emelia had been talking about me?By the time I got home, June was nowhere to be found. So much for binge-watching her fav

Riley’s POVI always wanted to play a college story where the character had no control of her life, like in a horror scene or something. I just didn’t know it wouldn’t be scripted."Are you trying to avoid me? Because you're doing a terrible job."I jumped off him almost immediately glancing back at

Riley’s PovIf everything that happened last night was a performance, I might have rated it as the worst play of the year. And the fact that I had willingly cast myself in it? Embarrassing. Mortifying. What was I even thinking, doing something like that completely sober?Despite the disaster, a stub

Cole’s POVThree Days Before the FestivalIf I weren’t so critical — so allergic to superstition — I might believe the universe sends warnings before a bad day. Today would have qualified.I set my alarm two hours late. Missed my own conference slot — the one where I was the guest speaker. Skipped co

Riley’s PovIf there were to be an Olympic sport for pretending you’re fine, I would have qualified years ago.The campus festival lights flickered above me like I was walking through a beautifully edited dream sequence. Music thumped from the main stage. Glitter cannons exploded somewhere to my lef
